First of all, we went to Hearst Castle. Now, it all started with William Randolph Hearst, and his parents, George and Phoebe Hearst. One day, William and his mother traveled to Europe to look at the ancient European culture. William was greatly inspired by the artwork, but it all really started with the ruins of an old European castle. His parents bought some land on a mountain, where, when William's parents died, William owned the land. His father had found pounds of silver, and he was rich. When Will inherited the money, he got straight to building. An archeologist named Julia Morgan helped him in the building of Hearst Castle, or Casa Grande. He started in 1919 and ended in 1947. With 165 rooms and 127 acres of land, Hearst Castle was complete.
It was phenomenal and gorgeous. I loved it with it's tour of the five grand rooms. The main hall, the dining room, the tea room, the game room, and the theater. Grand. I'd get lost so easily...
Long after Hearst Castle, me and mom had a day out. We went to the San Diego Safari Park. We saw lemurs, gorillas, lions, and the Cheetah Run. The Cheetah Run was awesome. We bought V.I.P. tickets and got to meet the cheetah, Ruuxa, and the dog companion, Raina. It got this close!
Well, that's all for this blog so I hope you enjoyed! Erin out!
